Florence is a free app that provides nurses with data-driven CPD recommendations, an easy way to capture their learning on the go, empowering them to take control of their professional growth. Through their completed CPD, Florence users see their top areas of expertise emerge, compare them to other nurses, and make plans for how they want to grow.

Yes! Florence was created by the Australian Primary Health Care Nursing Association (APNA), and its nurses who understand the real challenges around CPD and professional growth. It has been made in line with APNA’s high standards for nursing professional development, bringing you the same trusted quality and expertise as all APNA services. Our team combines nursing experience with technology to ensure accuracy, reliability, and real-world application.

Florence is free for nurses to use. No subscription needed. No strings attached.
